Jay Z: Still kind of a big deal.

OK, so he can be upstaged by his wife releasing a video — or buying toothpaste, or stepping outside her house — but that's what happens when you marry Beyonce.

And he's a long way from the hungry, young rapper who battled his way to the top more than a decade ago, and his heyday seems to recede further into the distance every year.

He's been surpassed in many respects by his erstwhile producer and protege, Kanye West, whose planet-sized ego makes Jay Z look sort of humble and reasonable by comparison.

He looks like he should be worrying more about stock portfolios, lawn care and diaper-changing than defending his titles and vast hip-hop empire. He's 44 years old.

Still, he's Jay Z. The president takes his calls. He talks money with Warren Buffett. He's coming to Pittsburgh on Jan. 21, to fill Consol Energy Center. If there was a bigger room in town, he'd probably fill that one, too.

Rap fans love to debate who's the GOAT (Greatest of All Time), but at some point, you just have to deal with the numbers. So, look below for some of Jay Z's more interesting digits.

• 13 — Most No. 1 albums . Passed Elvis (10) for the title in 2009, with “The Blueprint 3.” Only the Beatles, with 19 No. 1 albums, have more.

• 32 — Ranking in Forbes of “the world's most powerful celebrities.” This year, he sold his stake in the Brooklyn Nets basketball team so he could run a sports agency (without the conflict of interest).

• 290,000 — Number of one-week iTunes downloads for the album “Watch the Throne” (made with Kanye West), a record.

You are solely responsible for your comments and by using TribLive.com you agree to our
Terms of Service.

We moderate comments. Our goal is to provide substantive commentary for a general readership. By screening submissions, we provide a space where readers can share intelligent and informed commentary that enhances the quality of our news and information.

While most comments will be posted if they are on-topic and not abusive, moderating decisions are subjective. We will make them as carefully and consistently as we can. Because of the volume of reader comments, we cannot review individual moderation decisions with readers.

We value thoughtful comments representing a range of views that make their point quickly and politely. We make an effort to protect discussions from repeated comments either by the same reader or different readers

We follow the same standards for taste as the daily newspaper. A few things we won't tolerate: personal attacks, obscenity, vulgarity, profanity (including expletives and letters followed by dashes), commercial promotion, impersonations, incoherence, proselytizing and SHOUTING. Don't include URLs to Web sites.

We do not edit comments. They are either approved or deleted. We reserve the right to edit a comment that is quoted or excerpted in an article. In this case, we may fix spelling and punctuation.

We welcome strong opinions and criticism of our work, but we don't want comments to become bogged down with discussions of our policies and we will moderate accordingly.

We appreciate it when readers and people quoted in articles or blog posts point out errors of fact or emphasis and will investigate all assertions. But these suggestions should be sent
via e-mail. To avoid distracting other readers, we won't publish comments that suggest a correction. Instead, corrections will be made in a blog post or in an article.
